You’ve been waiting. We’ve been waiting. No more waiting.

Perfect Bound | 72 pages
5.5″ (14cm) x 8.5″ (21.6cm)
ISBN: 978-1599482378

One Damn Thing After An­other builds on the themes of word contagion and weaponized memes that the author explored in his previous book, 2009’s How America Died. Many of the char­acters in these stories have like­wise been sickened by language: they exchange psychotic emails, adopt covert online personas, write fictitious book reviews and preach the authoritarian philoso­phies of Ayn Rand, oblivious to the harm they might be doing to themselves or others.

A scholar and a dropout clash in “The Condition.” Fact and fic­tion blur in “Drunken Fantasies, Vol. 1” as the author takes readers on a painfully funny tour through the insanity of his own booze-fueled grandiosity. For those who remain undeterred by these warn­ings, the author has also included a supplement that shows readers “How To Be An Underground Lit Legend” by employing many of the same tactics.

    This thing looks like the bee’s testicals (that is what the yungins are saying these days, right?) and I can’t wait to read it. The Tim Hall lit machine just keeps on going!

    Thanks, Pat and Caleb–for letting me be a part of this crazy site and inviting me to be part of OW Press. I’m really proud of this collection, but I should let people know that pre-orders were absurdly better than I could have hoped and so there are only a handful of copies left. Better act soon, as they say in the vernacular…copies going to Amazon soon, for you PayPalophobes.

    Tim, thanks for my copy, it came Friday. You don’t need to sell on Amazon to use PayPal. Caleb can show you how to set a page up.

    @ David – I think he means for those who are afraid of using PayPal, the Amazon copies will be available soon.

    Got my copy today! Read it before I went to work. This is a great introduction to Tim’s work, since there’s a bunch of different styles. And it’s funny too, which is great. My favorite funny line from the book: “She said it was because she liked my cheekbones, and because I stood as if I had a cape billowing behind me.”

    Great stuff!
